I have news. Very good news. A big dream of mine is coming true. I want to teach as many people as possible how to fight for their dreams and tell the whole truth about themselves: what they dream of, how they feel, who they are. About four years ago, I decided (with a big […]
Most people’s eyes get very wide when I talk about FALLING IN LOVE with time. At Handel, we think your relationship to time is one of the most important relationships you have. After all, time is the currency of YOUR LIFE. It represents the precious limited number of moments that you are alive, the moments […]
There are lots of things in my life at which I am winning. But lately I’ve been re-assessing a bunch of business practices that haven’t been working. I’ve had to face failure in a way I never have before. In the past, I’ve been really good at avoiding situations where I might fail by bailing […]
At Handel Group®, we believe it’s important to design all areas of your life. Now, some areas get extra attention like love, career, body, and family. While others get no love at all. At the top of the neglected list is LEARNING. Learning is important in life but most of us consider it a chore […]
I think of myself as a person with good morals. I’ve dedicated my life to helping people figure out how to dream bigger dreams and chase them. This makes me feel like a “good person,” but while riding through the middle of Ohio today, I saw something that gave me pause. It was a billboard […]

We usually don’t think of our personalities as something we can design. I remember the day I realized I was selfish. It was a painful and slow process to get to that point. My coach had to work really hard with me about it. And I had to almost lose my marriage for it to […]
Recently, I was at a hip party in New York with several of my friends. It was a charity event and I was wearing a cool Ralph Lauren dress and feeling good. I spent the first part of the evening meeting different people and connecting. At some point I sat down at a table next […]
One of my greatest heroes is Martin Luther King, Jr. His “I Have a Dream” speech is one of the most well-known in the world. I often think about his speech and what he stood for when I feel disconnected to my own dreams. It is my belief that the world is enriched by dreamers, […]
To the kids: “Don’t forget to do your homework, put away your clothes, and set the table.” To the husband: “Make sure you look me in the eye, write a card on my birthday, and set the alarm.” To the staff member: “Always remember: to send the invoices, report your statistics, and communicate about vacation […]
Psst. Can we tell you our secrets? Yup, we actually think it’s the key to happiness. And we’ve practiced a lot here at Handel, in order to prove it true. I just sent an email to three friends I am seeing this weekend to say that my acne is acting up more than usual and […]
I made three rather exceptional mistakes yesterday that I’d like to share with you. Make sure you read to the end for the amazing twist. It all started the day before when our babysitter said she had to leave town unexpectedly and the current week would be her last week. I was immediately panicked, for […]
